Cherokee Park Homes for Sale

Located just two and a half miles south of downtown Sarasota, Cherokee Park is a highly sought after "West of Trail" neighborhood, offering a charming, quiet retreat from Sarasota's bustling city center. What started as a 1920s dreamscape that was stalled by the Great Depression, Cherokee Park really took off after World War II, when mid-century ranch-style and Spanish-style homes filled the community. Today, the neighborhood boasts a variety of architectural styles with unique, high-end updated interiors, all paying homage to the charming neighborhood in which the residences stand. A product of the original 1920s dreamscape, the community is still separated by a beautiful stucco wall and ornate entrance, leading to an enclave of mansions and mid-century homes nestled among palm-lined streets.
